Laolu Akande, the senoir special assistant-media and publicity to Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday, Febrauary 2, shared a picture of pupils of St Micheal Primary School, Ota enjoying their free meals as FG's Homegrown School Feeding Programme progresses.
At least 10 million primary school pupils across the country will benefit from the newly- introduced school feeding programme initiated by the federal government and tagged “Buhari food for the children.”
The home-grown programme started on Thursday, December 8, 2016, according to a statement from the spokesperson for the vice president.
About a month ago, Dotun Adebayo, the special assistant on homegrown school feeding programme in the office of the vice president, was in Awka, the Anambra state capital where he noted that primary school pupils showed excitement.
Adebayo led a team of federal and state officials to some of the schools including the Community Primary School, Awka South, Central School Ameobi, and Central School in Nibo.
He also said: “While the 2016 budget of change made provision for funding of the feeding programme in 18 states, a total of 17 States have concluded the designing of the School feeding models through state-level multi-sectorial capacity building workshops, based on FG’s stipulated requirements. Those states will proceed in the planning and would soon get to the implementation stage.”
